Old Camp Meeting Days

And welcome
We're gathering at a wonderful Wesleyan campground
In Fairmount Indiana
Where folks have come to camp meeting
For over a century
Come on in
Join the fun

Long ago when but a boy at old camp meeting time
How my heart did leap for joy to hear the old bells chime
Calling all the saints of God into the house of pray'r
Oh, such praying, singing, shouting for the Lord was there

I like the old time preaching, praying, singing, shouting
I like the old time reading of God's word
I like to hear those old time Hallelujah stories
I like the old time worship of the Lord

Preachers in those good old days were filled with holy flame
Preaching for the souls of men and not for worldly fame
Under such old fashion preaching sinners knelt to pray
And the Lord would save them in that good old fashion way

I like the old time preaching, praying, singing, shouting
I like the old time reading of God's word
I like to hear those old time Hallelujah stories
I like the old time worship of the Lord

I like the old time preaching, praying, singing, shouting
I like the old time reading of God's word
I like to hear those old time Hallelujah stories
I like the old time worship of the Lord
